Improvements in codon usage analysis for a more detailed understanding of genome content and horizontal gene transfer
… amino acids to be encoded by multiple synonymous codons. Genes can vary in their utilization of synonymous codons, and this provides a basis of comparison for studying the compositional histories and evolution of genomes. The original goal of this dissertation work was to study the effects of …

Genome evolutionary studies of the Salmonella enterica serovars: implications for the dynamics of horizontal gene transfer, the pangenome concept, and bacterial and archaeal taxonomy
… loss processes. Chapters 2 and 3 describe the codon usage studies of the horizontally acquired genes of S .enterica. Chapter 2 provides the first known quantitative evidence that some groups of closely related, but traditionally distinct species derive the plurality of their recently …

Gene Expression Control for Synthetic Patterning of Bacterial Populations and Plants
… expression control in the liverwort: I analyzed codon usage across the transcriptome of M. polymorpha, and used insights gained to design codon-optimized fluorescent reporters successfully expressed from its nuclear and chloroplast genomes. For targeting of bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase to …
